Subject: Happy Halloween from Russia!
Wow what a week! It started out with the Talent Show... it went great! We had around 30 people show up, which the Branch President couldn't believe, and everyone loved it! Elder Smith and I did a lot of crazy weird talents which made it a lot of fun and a lot of other people participated. I have some video of it all and maybe a few pictures so I will see what I can do to get it all on a disk and sent out to you! This was our Halloween celebration! I hope you guys had a lot of fun on Halloween too!
The day after the Talent Show we went out to one of our three cities that we are over, Ribinsk, and did the first ever English Club there. Not many people came, but after the English Club we were able to teach a few lessons to a few people interested and now we have two new investigators and two new potential investigators. One of the new investigators, Olessa, is very interested and even traveled an hour and a half away just to come to church on Sunday and see what we are all about. She is really interested!
On Sunday Elder Smith and I were able to teach a lesson and then we committed all of the members to start a 40 day fast with us about missionary work. They have done this in other missions and it has been very productive. What we do is we take for days and one members a day fasts for missionary work. Well, since we don't have may members each member will probably fast about 2 or three times, but it will be a great help I think! We set good goals on the fast and now we have things to shoot for.
Sunday night we left for Tver to go on splits and do a baptismal interview there. Haha, when we got to Tver Elder Smith was sick and he couldn't do any work so I went on splits with the missionaries. It was a fun time and I was able to see one of my friends from Kazakhstan who just barley got transferred back to Russia. Well Monday night we left and traveled all night through Moscow and then we got back on Tuesday.
Haha so now we have been in Yaroslavl for two days and we cram packed those two days full of lessons with all of our investigators because tomorrow or maybe even tonight we have to go back to Moscow because we have Zone Conference and then Saturday Elder Smith has a Visa trip and then Sunday we get a new Elderly Couple that is going to be coming to Yaroslavl with us! Wow what a week! A lot of traveling! I hope things settle down soon so we can get some real work done IN OUR OWN CITY!
Well I love you all! Remember who you are and thank you for all of the love and support!
Elder Weihing :)
